Summary

Description

Jay has been a recognizable face on Ryerson's campus for some time now. His sleeping bag was set up under an overhang in front of the Tim Hortons on Victoria Street, and I know him to be a friendly face who enjoys opening the door for people entering and exiting the coffee shop.

Not too long ago the Downtown BIA decided to install planters in the area to "encourage" Jay to take up shelter in housing. The ploy didn't work and simply forced Jay to camp across the street, without an overhang to protect him from the weather.

Since the decision was made some Ryerson students set up these signs as a protest against the BIA's decision, calling it "anti-homeless".
